User Experience Research

Focus on the user and all else will follow

Google User Experience Research works hard to understand our users in order to
create the best product experiences. We do research at many phases — at the idea
state, through development, and after they ship — by asking people to try them and
tell us what they think.

When we conduct research with folks in our offices, we often miss opportunities to learn
from all kinds of people. To get out in the world more often, we built a research
van, which we drive to various locations around the country.

When the van is not on a research tour, you can see it in
various locations around Northern California. When you see
our van in your town, please stop by to say hello, and help us
shape the future of Google!

If you haven't seen the van around, but want to help, sign up
to participate in our ongoing studies throughout the year.
